The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 927

In the ward, Joaana was screaming, “Help… I want to die, I want to die!”

During the first week of overcoming drug addiction, it is the most agonizing stage.

Her body experienced extreme discomfort and frequent withdrawal symptoms because of the sudden cessation of

the potent drugs.

Joanna would experience nearly an episode every two to three hours.

Every time it acted up, it was like a snake shedding a layer of its skin.

“Joann, you can definitely get through it. I know you’re the strongest woman. You’ve survived all those difficult

times and struggles.

“You will definitely be able to overcome your drug addiction. I believe you can do it.” Jaydon could not help her

much and could only cheer her on.

In the face of difficulties, she could only endure the pain and walk through them alone. Others could not help her to

go through it.

“Joann, bring out all your courage. As someone who isn’t even afraid of death, how can you be afraid of drug

withdrawal?

“Think about your four children. Are you willing to be an addicted mother to them? Children learn by example, and

if they follow the wrong path, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

Unfortunately, Jaydon’s encouragement, to Han Qiao, was more like a suffocating spell.

“Get out. I don’t want to see you. I hate you.

“Let Bruce in. I want Bruce to be here. He will give me the medicine. Hurry up and get him here…” Joanna’s throat

was filled with blood and she could barely make a sound.

Jaydon frowned. “Joann, give up.”

“No one will provide you with special medicine anymore. You have to quit even if you don’t want to.”

“Get out of my sight!”

Joanna was writhing in pain on the hospital bed, resembling a dehydrated fish on the brink of death.

Seeing Joanna in this state, Jaydon felt nothing but heartache and sympathy.

He had no other options. He could only be this ruthless and helplessly watch her suffer.

He felt helpless at the moment.

Suddenly, the sound of someone knocking on the door echoed.

*Come in,” Jaydon subconsciously responded.

The door was pushed open.

A nurse wearing a medical cap and mask entered, pushing a small trolley in.

“What are you doing?”

“Now, we have to draw the patient’s blood and conduct a full-body checkup. Could you please step outside for a

moment?” The nurse’s tone was indifferent. When Jaydon heard this, he subconsciously glanced at the nurse.

This nurse’s figure was very slender and graceful. Although she was wearing a mask, her features were attractive.

Her temperament was completely different from other nurses, making her stand out among them.

Jaydon vaguely felt that she looked a little familiar, but he could not remember where he had seen her before.

“Who are you? Why haven’t I seen you before?” Jaydon inquired.

The nurse didn’t lift her head, skillfully picking up a syringe for drawing blood from the small trolley.

Calmly and naturally, she replied, “I was just transferred from another department.”

“Mr. Everett has already instructed me to be Ms. Haynes’s personal nurse.”

“We have to give Ms. Haynes a full-body cleaning now. It’s not convenient for a gentleman to stay here.”

Jaydon’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, somewhat skeptical.

There were four caregivers assigned to take care of Joanna’s daily needs. However, due to her drug addiction, she

didn’t let any of them get close to her.

However, the nurse in front of him was calm. She had shown no sign of panic or

nervousness.

Presumably, she was telling the truth.

“After the blood is drawn, the patient needs to be cleaned up. She has low blood pressure and severe

hypoglycemia. We’ll administer some glucose later.”

“Sir, please leave for a moment.” The nurse placed the syringe that had been drawn with blood properly and urged

Jaydon to leave with a calm expression. A gentlemanly smile appeared on Jaydon’s handsome face.

“Alright, please proceed quickly.” With that, Jaydon turned around and left the ward.

Once Jaydon left, Aria immediately locked the door to prevent any interruptions.

Afterward, she removed her mask and took out a pocket watch from her clothes.

Joanna’s drug withdrawal was causing her immense pain, and she was on the verge of fainting.

Aria took out a few bottles of body oil and applied it on Joanna.

As Aria started to massage Joanna, her nerves and blood vessels seemed to have been electrocuted.

Joanna’s entire body went limp, and the feeling of being scratched by a hundred claws eased a lot.

Her body was already exhausted from the drug addiction. Now, her consciousness was even more blurry.

After Joanna calmed down, Aria gradually slowed down the movement of her hands.

She took out the antique pocket watch once again and held it in front of Joanna. “I’m going to give you

psychological treatment now. I need your cooperation.” Joanna blinked tiredly, like a fish waiting to be slaughtered

on a chopping board.

Now, she could only be manipulated by others.

“Relax. Don’t be so nervous. This place is safe, and you are in a secure environment.”

Joanna followed Aria’s soothing voice, and her body gradually relaxed.

“Good, very good. Relax completely. Now, you are surrounded by a sea of flowers, it’s your favorite place.”

Aria’s voice entered Joanna’s ears like a command.

Joanna’s brain completely relaxed, as if she had truly entered a sea of flowers.

“When I ask you something, just answer, okay?”

Joanna’s body went completely limp, unknowingly succumbing to Aria’s hypnotic influence

Aria hung the pocket watch between Joanna’s eyes and continued to sway slowly.

it

“Do you remember this pocket watch? It brought you here, and it’s going to send you back now.”

“It will turn into a beam of light, and you will follow the light.”

Unknowingly, Joanna’s eyes started to droop, and drowsiness filled her.

However, the scenes in her brain felt incredibly real.

She could clearly see a beam of light and followed it forward.

Aria carefully observed Joanna’s reaction.

Seeing Joanna’s frown and a hint of panic on her face, Aria knew that Joanna’s subconscious had returned to the

point when she was hypnotized.

“Good. You don’t have to go any further. You’re already home.”

“Take a closer look. Is there a door in front of you?”

Joanna followed Aria’s guidance and a door gradually appeared in her mind.

“I’ll count from one to three, and then you push open that door and wake up,

alright?”

Joanna had already fallen into a deep sleep, but her subconscious was still following Aria’s instructions.

“One, two, three!”

After slowly finishing the count, Aria snapped her fingers next to Joanna’s ear.

Joanna felt as if she heard the crisp sound of a belle, waking her up abruptly from her half-dreaming state.

Her entire body trembled mechanically. She opened her eyes, and her vision was blank.

It took her a while to come to her senses.

Broken brainwaves and memories surged crazily into her brain.

She remembered that she took her daughter to the airport to pick up Bruce. There was a car accident halfway, but

she could not recall what happened after that.

“You’re awake?”

“Oh, my head hurts so much? Why is my head hurting like this?”

“Your memories have just been unlocked, and your brain is struggling to process so much information at once. It’s

normal to have a headache. You’ll be better after resting for a while, ” Aria said calmly.

Aria put away the pocket watch and tidied up the hypnotic equipment.

Although Bruce had sent many bodyguards to guard the entrance of the hospital, their intelligence couldn’t stop

Aria.

Once she wanted to come in, no one could stop her.

“Ah, my head hurts…” Joanna’s limbs struggled subconsciously.

Seeing her in such pain, Joanna approached and loosened her arm restraints.

This allowed her to move within a limited range.

Joanna rubbed her temples as memories rushed into her brain like a tide.

She recalled her memories from Saumi Cradia.

Unexpectedly, Prince Harman was so despicable. Not only did he secretly take her away, but he also used this drug

on her.

“Hiss…”

“Are you feeling better?” Aria asked with concern.
